Been lathering up a few other bars I've made before with different oil ratios and I *think* I might be able to improve the lather somewhat. I'll probably reduce the size of the second lot of testers (just a bit) so I can send more samples out :shock: That is, of course, assuming that you might be up for another go... :shave
Not withstanding that, but also most people here like different stuff, every soap is different, if you made the same as Henk or Sharon, there'd be no point, yours might appeal to different people, or different moods. Tastes vary, that's what makes life interesting!artisansoap said:Every soapmaker has their own 'style'. We all create slightly differently, which is what makes hand made soap so special (to me anyway). We might end up with soaps which do essentially the same thing, but will arrive at different formulations by different methods - and I like thatI hope I have too much respect for fellow soapmakers to blindly copy their work.
I was thinking of looking through soapalchemist's previous posts, but decided against for the moment. There is a danger that I would just end up making copies of what she has worked so hard to develop.

I started from the opposite viewpoint - I read about Sharon's so that I wouldn't make the same type of soap. As she has quite a range of fragrances I think that could be a problem since we both seem to have the same approach to EOs and blending.

Try a different approach. Just go for the novelty end of the market. Here's a few names off the top of my head. Haven't a clue what they should necessarily smell like:
Special Pie
Wind in the Willows
We Come in Peace
Jungle Juice
Gangsters Paradise
Wet Dog
Let your imagination run riot!!!!
